May 3d.
Latt 45° 49′ N., Long 14° 39′ W. At half past 10 P M found ourselves along side of a Frigate; at the same time could see her lights through her Ports. Immediately Haul’d on a Wind and in a very short time lost sight of her. We were 41 days cruising from Latt 40° 43′ to 51° CO’, occasionally making the Land, from Skillings to Cape Clear, and went as far up the Channel as the Nymph’s Bank.
